I find this hard to believe. If you inspect /proc/bus/input/devices you should be able to see the parent device for the touchscreen (via sysfs entry) and if you inspect sysfs you should be able to see the driver that is connected to the device (unless they use i2c dev from userspace but then they'd have to resort to polling and their battery life would be abysmal). > > In anyway - this is only curiousity, the main goal is simple - to > create a driver for icn85xx that wakeup it and loads firmware. > I have specs, I have firmware, there is for arm open source drivers > (including firmware in .h file): > https://github.com/bbelos/rk3188-kernel/blob/master/drivers/input/touchscreen/ICN8503/icn85xx.c Just so we are clear: the driver above is not an open source driver. Even though it has MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") to circumvent kernel module loading policies the actual copyright notice in the sources say that the code is proprietary. If any code is taken from it the resulting driver should not be submitted for inclusion in mainline Linux kernel unless it is done by ChipOne themselves.
